Item description from seller

Deluxe edition, number 23 of 105 copies signed by the author. Unlike many of Rackham's deluxe editions, this one was not signed by him, nor was it issued in the UK in a deluxe version. This is the rarest of all Rackham limited editions. A contemporary review of the UK edition stated "the wonderful story of the wonderful wooden dog who was the jolliest toy in the house, until he went out to explore the world, is much above the ordinary. Miss Bianco. is fortunate to have her work illustrated by such a master-hand as that of Mr Rackham. His full-page plates in colour are a delight". Latimore & Haskell, pp. 59-60; Riall, p. 155. Saturday Review of Politics, Literature, Science and Art, 19 December 1925, p. 748. Quarto. Colour frontispiece and 6 colour plates with captioned tissue guards, black and white illustrations in the text, all by Rackham. Original blue boards with vellum backstrip, gilt-lettered black morocco label. Original slipcase. Housed in a custom black morocco-backed folding box. Slight toning to spine, corners very slightly bumped, trace of sunning to extremities, slipcase professionally restored with new sections and adhesive tape marks: a near-fine copy in a good slipcase.
